Work is sooooo slow!

Okay, so at one point in time, Trung, Jimmy, my oldest brother, and my Mom were trying to convince me to keep working after I have the baby since my job is easy and not very stressful. Oh yeah, for those who didn't know, I don't "plan" on coming back to work after Lydia is born. Anyhow, 'tis true, 'tis true, I don't have to work very hard, but I would probably die of boredom if I stayed too much longer; I honestly get sick of surfing on the web because I run out of things to look up.

Hmmm, let me explain the industry that I am in and then maybe you'll get my drift. I prepare legal documents for an attorney firm for Countrywide Home Loans, the retail side. My hours are typically 9-6, but if a loan has to go out that night, we (as in, Deanna, Dana (a summer intern), and I) have to stay and do it, even though we were just sitting there for hours beforehand doing nothing. Some days, especially during month end, are super busy when one loan comes right after another and we end up staying until 8 PM "drawing docs"; most days, it's sooooooo slow. AND the bad thing is, we never really know what kind of day or week it is going to be, so we just sit here and play internet games or surf the web until a loan comes our way. So I tried reading at work once, (read the entire Harry Potter series in one week), but that was a no-go. I know, I know, why was I reading at work? Well, because I would rather enjoy a good book and fill my mind with more intellectual things than mess up my eyes staring at the computer all day...so bite me! Oh wells, at least I've got the blog to take up some of my time nowadays.

Okay, enough about work...blah! Oh, wait, one more thing, you're probably wondering why I've stuck around for almost three years preparing documents if it's so dang boring. Well, I actually had a job lined up as a loan officer back in January and was going to give my two weeks notice on January 3rd. But then I found out that I was pregnant on January 1st after I had been boozing the night before (j/k), so Trung and I decided that it would be best to stick with the less stressful job rather than start a new, commission based, high stressed job. So, there you have it...stuck.

Now, enough about work! Last night I tried on some clothes in preparation for New York. It's not like I can just throw an outfit into the suitcase anymore and assume that I can fit into it, cause chances are, I can't. First outfit I tried out was the pink dress I was planning on wearing to the wedding, which Tiff let me borrow. I had tried it on several weeks back, but of course, who knew how it would fit now. For my more avid readers, you'll recall that I bought only a slip at the outlet, well, the slip was for this dress. The dress was a bit sheer when I first tried it on, but with the slip, well, let's just say I'm ready to party...big belly and all! :) I tried on a few more outfits, and of course they all had to be super cute because some family and friends are seeing me pregnant for the first time. :P Oh, and of course, I have to pack a couple shirts in different styles in the same color, just in case it's not appropriate to wear cause I'm pregnant. For some reason, older Asian people give me looks when I hear high heels or something strapless or with spaghetti straps. What's the deal? Do I look all that bad? Dudes, I've been swimming so my arms aren't THAT flabby or is it my tummy that is hideous? Sheesh! Anyhow, I'm bringing the extras for the sake of the in-laws. I want to be somewhat trendy, but also respectable in their eyes. We'll see what I end up wearing. Oh, we will see.
